pwd is a command, usually located in /bin (ok, probably always located
there) that prints the current working directory. it is not a directory.
What is probably happening is that you have apostrophes around pwd, but
you need back-ticks (the guy below the tilde, to the left of the "1" key
-- you have 'pwd' but you need `pwd`). if you change the apostrophes to
those, then the shell script will execute the command pwd.
